How to get the value from text box with a array names at post method in php?

Question

I'm new in PHP developing.

I have a looping textbox

$i = 0;
while($row_recordset = mysql_fetch_array($query_run)) 

{
    echo "<tr>";

    echo "  <td>{$row_recordset['REGNO']}</td>
            <td>{$row_recordset['NAME']}</td>

            <td><input type='text' name='atten_ave".$i."'></td>

         ";

    echo "</tr>";

$i++;

 }

and as you can see I assign a different names in the textbox via array.

I want to echo the value of the textbox into another page to check if it submit the data before I insert it into the database, But there is an error after I execute the page.

$atten_ave = $_POST['atten_ave'.$i];

echo $atten_ave;

Here's the error

Notice: Undefined variable: i in BLAH BLAH BLA

Notice: Undefined index: atten_ave in BLAH BLAH BLAH

I already change the error_reporting in php.ini and set the E-NOTICE

But the error still exist.

I also try to suppress notice errors by putting '@' before the $atten_ave = $_POST['atten_ave'.$i]. But there is no value that was submitted, even I input a value at the textbox.

That is correct error, because after submitting the form you don't have a variable $i. You need to loop the $_POST variable like this

$i = 0;
foreach ($_POST as $val) {
   $atten_ave  = $val.$i;
   $i++;
}

Hi thanks for the reply, what If sir I have a 3 or more textbox? how can I decalre the given textbox name at the post method. ex$i = 0 foreach ($_POST(WHAT SHOULD I DO HERE?) as $val) { $atten_ave = $val.$i; $i++; } – zeus2026 Apr 26 '13 at 06:51
int that case give text field name for each like this foreach($_POST['filedname'] as $val) { $variablenam = $val.$i;} something like this – chandresh_cool Apr 26 '13 at 06:54
$chandresh_cool thanks sir for the reply, but in my fieldname I set the names into array to give different name in every textbox, for example the '$i' is auto incrementing, what should I declare at the ($_POST[''] as $val)? I try this but $_POST['atten_ave'.$i] it gives me a error " Invalid argument supplied for foreach()" – zeus2026 Apr 26 '13 at 07:07
if you have only this then just give this foreach($_POST as $val) {$atten_ave = $val.$i; $i++; } – chandresh_cool Apr 26 '13 at 07:09
put semicolan on first line. i mean $i=0; – Boopathi Rajan Mar 25 '14 at 09:46

Another thing: if you close your eyes, you can't see things around you but it doesn't mean they are not there. You are trying the same with notices: you try to hide them instead of get rid of them...
